The Dancer

The rhythm,
                                Of the air                    Compliments the lyrics
The heart bear

Throwing his feets
     On the earth as trick
                  Coiling his toes
                              As if they're foes.

                 On and On
                 He goes on
            Till day became dusk
And brightness by darkness tucked
         
Then he picked his way home:
The beat is not his own!
            18:04:07:14:11

Poet's Note: 
    Do not take time dancing to another man's beat, get your own and spend all time on/with it.
